According to theatrical superstition, it is considered bad luck to say the name of what Shakesperian play while inside a theater?

According to legend, the first performance of "Macbeth" was riddled with disaster. Over time, it has become a superstition to not say the name of the play. This may be due to the belief that there is a curse on the play due to a coven of witches having objections that real incantations were used in the play.
